How I Met Your Mother is an Emmy award winning comedy series that premiered on CBS in 2005 and has been running successfully since. The show revolves around the protagonist Ted Mosby telling his children about the events that led to his meeting their mother. The other important characters include Barney, Marshall, Lily and Robin who form a pretty close friends circle.

In the beginning of season 1, Ted is portrayed as a single, 27 year old architect living in New York with his best friend Marshall and Marshall’s longtime girlfriend Lily who drops in time to time. Tired of being single Ted then begins his search for a soul mate. Which Barney disapproves of. Ted meets Robin in a bar and falls head over heels in love with her, but it does not work out. Season 2 shows Ted and Robin getting together and Marshall and Lily breaking up and getting back. In the final episode of season 2 Marshall and Lily get married and Ted and Robin break up yet again.

In season 3 Ted tries to woo his doctor Stella and Barney begins to have feelings for Robin. One thing leads to another and Barney and Robin end up sleeping together. Ted freaks out when he finds out about this and things turn sour between him and Barney.
In the season finale both Ted and Barney meet with road accidents and they patch up.

The 4th season is premiering on September 22nd and we expect that the womanizing, most eligible bachelor, eternally single, relationship loathing Barney Stinson to at last fall in love! And most probably with Robin. Or it could just be another one of Barney’s funny and crazy antics for which he is known and loved for. Ted has proposed to Stella and whether she is the woman he marries is still shrouded in mystery. Which I do not think will happen as that would probably spell the end of the series. Let’s wait and watch the season premiere to see what happens next.
